[sweetsong]

CONTENT:

SWARASADHANA, is a two day Carnatic Music Workshop. In this workshop you will learn “Rare Gems of Various Vaggeyakaras”. There were many spontaneous ecstatic outpourings of poet composers of the past which remain largely unknown. These compositions have not been widely taught or heard sung on concert platforms. It is such “rare gems” that will be taught in this workshop.

THE PRESENTER:

SWARASADHANA will be conducted by renowned vocalist and vainika Prince Rama Varma, scion of the Royal Family of Travancore, who is a direct descendant of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal. Besides being a concert artist and an organizer of music festivals, Prince Rama Varma is also a dedicated teacher. His workshops at Perla and Hyderabad were broadcast on SVBC Channel for well over 200 episodes, perhaps one of the longest run programs of music classes on television.
